A new study reveals a 15% chance of a magnitude 8.0+ quake hitting the Cascadia subduction zone within the next 50 years. If it strikes, coastal land could sink by over 6 feet, flooding over ...

SEATTLE — Newly-released research led by the University of Washington (UW) showed that a feature scientists hypothesized was present along the Cascadia Subduction Zone is missing in places.

A recent Virginia Tech study reveals that the Pacific Northwest faces a heightened risk of catastrophic flooding and mega-tsunamis, potentially reachi ...

It’s a daunting challenge with the highest possible stakes should an offshore earthquake unleash a wall of incoming seawater.

The resulting sea level rise will lead to significant flood risks for huge areas of land, making recovery even harder.

By luck of geology, the Pacific Northwest coast isn’t being hit nearly as hard as other areas of the world by climate ...

The tsunami wave from an anticipated earthquake off the West Coast could reach 100 feet and permanently flood parts of the ...

A new study calculates the risk of where and how much land could sink. The Cascadia fault line is the focus of the new study conducted by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The Cascadia fault line is the focus of the new study conducted by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It breaks down the flooding potential a 9.0 earthquake could bring to the ...

Seismic symphonies of minor earthquakes may affect grand movements on major faults.
